 * What does it mean Simple Product as product type?
    Will I get commission from
   Amazon since the payment is happening on my website?

 * Are you trying to set up an External/Affiliate product? If so, see how to do 
   that here:

 * If you have an affiliate link, you’ll want to make sure you insert the proper
   link into the product editor in order to have the purchase tracked.

 * I only need to know is Simple Product also for amazon affiliates or is it for
   personal products?
    It confuses me that I have checkout on my website and not
   on amazon official website.

 * Simple products are for personal products. If the product is a simple product–
   the customer will be purchasing it on your website. The money will go straight
   to you.
 * External/Affiliate products are simply a link to external sites where the customer
   then buys the product using your affiliate link.

 * Not really. You typically can’t send a whole cart to another site.

 * I used the light version of that plugin, thought that it implies with woocommerce,
   but I realize now that woocommerce can be used without amazon… never mind… do
   you know how can I do it with light version of that plugin?

 * Maybe if I delete checkout page it will automatically go to amazon.

 * Maybe best to ask the author since this is not WooCommerce core.
